The Rock That Remembered Dinosaurs

A rock carries memory from the age of dinosaurs, and the sisters learn to read the story that time has left behind.

The Rock That Remembered Dinosaurs is part of Lulu & Ellie Backyard Academy. Here, a rock carries memory from the age of dinosaurs, and the sisters learn to read the story that time has left behind. The adventure stays warm and readable, even when the problem feels delightfully strange.
